Wildness Before Something Sublime Leila Chatti
â Â Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis
the cruel choice between pdf (free) vs physical copy (annotatable)
and pdf (searchable) vs physical copy (read on couch away from screens)
but I wanna get rewarded for consistent long term effort nooooow
June Jordan, âIntifada Incantation: Poem 38 for b.b.L.â
âIn 1930, Japanese printmaker Yoshida Hiroshi spent several months travelling in South Asia. After his return to Japan, he produced a series of 32 woodblock prints inspired by his travels which he then used to make a series of postcards.â
Women have another option. They can aspire to be wise, not merely nice; to be competent, not merely helpful; to be strong, not merely graceful; to be ambitious for themselves, not merely for themselves in relation to men and children. They can let themselves age naturally and without embarrassment, actively protesting and disobeying the conventions that stem from this societyâs double standard about aging. Instead of being girls, girls as long as possible, who then age humiliatingly into middle-aged women, they can become women much earlier â and remain active adults, enjoying the long, erotic career of which women are capable, far longer. Women should allow their faces to show the lives they have lived. Women should tell the truth.
â Susan Sontag, from âThe Double Standard of Agingâ
âa girl is told she is nothing. she hums into the soft dark - just wait, till i come back & eat you bare. till your heart cries blue. till your bones are fearâ

âAnd indeed, just think: in many ways, body and soul, I have been more a battlefield than a human being.â

bro not to start again on names but u ever think abt how some names have been used for centuries, millenniums even...like how many times has the earth heard a mother calling, 'alexander!'...how many times have the stars caught a lover whispering, 'freyja'...how many times has the ground we've walked on and continue to walk on felt vibrations of a friend excitedly yelling, 'mary!'
every day I am floored by the fantastic coincidence of having met you at all, and the incredible privilege of loving and being loved by you
